Biocompatibility testing involves a series of assessments to ensure that materials will not cause harmful effects when used in the body. These tests include:
Cytotoxicity Tests - Assess the potential of a material to cause cell damage. Sensitization Tests - Determine if a material can cause an allergic reaction. Irritation Tests - Evaluate if a material can cause irritation to tissues. Implantation Tests - Examine the long-term effects of a material when implanted in the body.
